      I’ve owned a lot of different brands and none have ever pestered me to connect to the internet.

      It could be the very cheap ones that make you do it. When I visited China I noticed that every TV showed ads so could be a jurisdiction thing too

      Depends on the TV. Most of them work without internet. Only a few of them fit the meme.

      Actually, I just realized that the TV wouldn’t know to update if it isn’t connected to the internet, so the meme falls apart.

      i’m sure some do, but most will probably pester you about it until you update.

      there’s ones that lose money if you buy them, so they are extremely cheap. They make it back by you watching ads, selling your data etc… I could imagine that those force you to connect to the internet.
